"What a stunning book! This is about Asperger's, which is a form of autism. This approaches the topic quite well and delicately, which I appreciate. <br/><br/>I enjoyed reading about Marguerite, who realizes she has Asperger's. She's such a sweet lady! I'm so proud of her for standing up for herself even through hard time! <br/><br/>The art style is very loosy and flowing, which makes it fun and comfortable to read. The layout is well done and easy to read.<br/><br/>Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc!"
